I’m planning on going to the Belgian GP in 2017. I’ll be travelling from the UK and planning on camping for the weekend. Any tips on:

1. The best way to get there? e.g. channel tunnel and a long drive or sail closer and a shorter drive there. I’ll prob be travelling over Thursday night and returning Monday after the race
2. Camping -…[Read more]

So been to Silverstone for the last 2 years so this time we thought we’d try Spa :) Just a query, for those that have been to Silverstone you will know that on the Friday and Saturday you can sit in whichever stand you like, however on the Sunday must sit in the one on your ticket.. Is this the same at Spa? Also we have Gold tickets if that makes…[Read more]

Morning all… So the weather forecast currently looks stunning. not a cloud in the sky for the entire weekend. Now I’m aware Spa can generally rain out of the blue, but how certain is the forecast these days? Is the rain truly localised and unpredictable, or can I not worry about waterproofs?
